Summertime in Georgia and new record news!
Hello Everyone!
This is Duffs reporting in. I just wanted to take a minute to inform you all on exactly what is happening here at camp LED, and most importantly what is going on with our next album. Last summer we began writing our record and recorded half of it with bassist Ryan Sinn. We were happy with how things were going and planned on finishing things up in the fall. We then got offered a tour with Tiger Army as well as a successful headlining tour in Europe.
We took a short, but much needed break after all that touring and the holidays. After we resumed, LED had a member shift with Ryan saying farewell and Sean Jordan and Bryan Kelley-Holden joining. Writing resumed and we really started to focus on finishing the new songs. We then realized that we probably were only going to use 2 of the 5 songs recorded from last summer. So in turn, we began a writing frenzy as we prepared ourselves to hit the studio in May or June. However, we then found ourselves on tour with Goldfinger and were also offered the first 2 weeks of Warped Tour, leaving us only about 80 percent ready to make a record that we wanted to feel 100 percent about.
Timing is everything.
Recently I have gotten together with a good friend of mine by the name of Travis Richter. You might have seen him perform with his band From First To Last. If you haven't, you should. Their new record sounds amazing! Even if you've seen or heard of them before, check them out again. Last week, Travis showed me tracks both he and Lee Dyness (From First To Last, Mayday Parade) have been producing at their studio. As a studio geek myself, it didn't take long to convince me of what we needed to do here.
To make a long story short, the stuff Travis and Lee are doing sounds awesome and they have joined camp LED to produce our next full length record. We will be heading out to the southland of Georgia in August, with a solid team behind us, to spend more time in the studio then we've ever had the privilege of having. We'll be 100 percent ready to make what we feel, and know is our best work to date. We're stoked!
Thanks to all and we'll see you on Warped tour!
